Austin Riley Records Two Singles In Loss

Atlanta Braves infielder Austin Riley has been a tough man to get out at the plate over the last few weeks. On Tuesday, he went 2-for-4 with two singles in the 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. There wasn't much offense from the Braves in this one, so a two-hit performance is notable. Riley […]
